Something different, last Friday was the 100th day of 2015, so time to use my OM Zuiko 100/2.8. It always loses out to the OM Zuiko 85/2 and is my least used lens (only 1 test shot in my Lightroom Library, that's all). After this maybe I'm going to take this one along a bit more often, because I like what it produced in terms of rendering, sharpness and bokeh.

Bull (@f 2.8)


Magnolia (@f 2.8)


Lane (@ f 8.0)


All on a NEX6, exifs are in the files.

Nice to see the bay of this lovely town again. I have fond memories of this place. Had a lovely Italien birthday dinner as well there at the time.

Another one more close up at with less blown highlights :)

Plum (P. domestica) flowers in Ultraviolet. Spring appears to be over already and there has been a sudden change from winter to summer.

^^^ I always love your harbour shots - such a mass of steel, light, and color!

Thanks a lot for this Bill! I too have the 70-400 G, and so far I look at it as the very best zoom I ever had, but this Tamron is certainly very very tempting. I have no idea about the micro adjustment thing, is there a procedure that you follow to find the right settings or was this trial and error?

Georg, I just set the camera on a tripod and focus on something with fine detail at about the distance I would normally expect to use the lens. I then take several shots on each side of "0" micro adjustment - generally +5,+10 and + 15, then -5,-10 and - 15. Examine them at 100% and you quickly see whether you need a plus or minus adjustment.

In my case, the - 10 and -15 were equally sharper than "0" so I zeroed in between with -11, -12, -13 and - 14. I found -12 to be the sharpest on my a7II.
The only lesson I've learned is that a bird about 5 metres away at 600mm has NO dof until about F11! I've got a lot of birds with sharp eyes and blurred beaks, or with the fox, sharp eyes but soft ears!

Understood, thanks a lot Bill!

I shot with a Zuiko 90-250mm f/2.8 for a while, translating into a 180-500mm on 4/3. Pretty large hunk of glass but a superb performer. At around F8 beaks and eyes were sharp.

Great photos above ... spring is only just getting going here in New England.

The ice has finally gone though (24mm TSE)



Some bulbs are coming up (Scilla), but no Magnolias yet (24mm TSE heavily corrected for vertical)



Beautiful texture on old Beech (Mamiya A 150mm/2.8)
